Shake That Moneymaker!

From Magicvalley.com:

Fidgety Behavior Is Linked to Lean Physique

The difference between being obese or lean may be due to how much a person is apt to stand, pace, wriggle and shift about over the course of a day, a team of scientists reported in an intensive study of the consequences of fidgeting.

. . .

The extra energy burned by the fidgety lean group was about 350 calories a day -- well within the reach of most people. The extra calorie burn amounts to at least 10 pounds a year.

So how come i gain weight when i try to quit smoking?

The most interesting lines from the article were these, i thought:

Each participant wore a special, high-tech set of underwear, which were rigged with sensors and data loggers originally designed to monitor jet fighter motion. The underwear could track most body movements.

Fresh undergarments were supplied each day. Data from the used underwear were downloaded each day to a computer.

Dang, if underwear could talk... i'm not sure if i'd want to know the data offa some people's undies. But then again, there might be some undie-info i'd be very interested in downloading, if you know what i mean.

3 Haha, u tart. I'm undergoing a medical experiment of my own right now. My head felt thick as a brick this morning, a sure sign of an oncoming cold. So, I bought some of that Zicam stuff that Rush touts. I've also started a regimen or hard liquor my normal mendicant. Gawd I love a cold. I'll let you know how it works out. So far it's worked everytime! Bartender!!

4 I recommend Airbourne. It is amazing. If you feel a cold coming on, you take one of those babies, and wala....no cold.

5 SHIT! Now you tell me. I'm afraid that my hangover is severe. I began the night drinking some rot-gut Russian herbal vodka (tastes like whiskey) called yalkie palkie. I moved on to several expensive scotch single malts (Glenmorangie) at the University Club where they are capable of a very nice pour, a nice Maryvale Merlot with thai curry duck at some place down in the impact area, and finished with several largish servings from a thousand dollar a bottle cognac, which is totally wasted on me. Tastes the same as the cheap shit. blech. Good thing I'm multi-fueled.

6 Casca, Seems I'm just a step behind you. THE ONLY Single malt to drink for a cold, or in my mind any other reason, is Lagavulen. From the Isle of Islay, it has deep smokey flavor that can cut through even the worst of colds. The curried duck sounds fantastic, and I do applaud your selection of the Merryvale, however I am not a Merlot drinker and would have gone with Cab.

7 You sir, are a snob, and narrow minded. The merlot is probably BETTER than the cab. I too would have made that mistake, however the fellow who ordered the wine was not I. It suprised me, but I was probably quite drunk at this point. As I've said, I'm multi-fueled, and will consume anything put in front of me with varying levels of enjoyment.

8 i feel it is appropriate for me to now reveal that i have become a sirah fan of late.

9 Sirah, who's that... the Queens' sushi chef? I prefer Syrah, or Shiraz, still a rose none the less. I drove all the way back from Long Beach listening to Tom Lycus talk about Pinot Noir and Sideways. Very kewl.

10 Guilty as charged sir! Listen its taken years to cultivate the perfect snob attitude, so I appreciate the recognition. That said, due try the Lagavulen, its pretty strong the first time, but after a while I think you'll agree its wonderfull I do have to get around to seeing Sideways, I hear its great fun

11 I've had the Lagavulen. There was a time when I tried to own one of every single-malt that I could find. It was an ambitious undertaking, and I had a wife then. I've settled on the fact that my palate rejects whiskey with a taste like a Smith Brothers cough drop.
